I have filed a bug in Red Hat Bugzilla to enhance Kudzu (the hardware probing utility) to allow users to configure a newly added drive.
Bug 104464 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104464 Since your distribution is Red Hat Linux 7.1, I'm going to tell you the long (it'll work in Linux of any flavor) way. You must first find the corresponding /dev entry for your SCSI drive. You can either look in /var/log/messages or type "dmesg | more" and search for your drive /dev entry (usually /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc.) Once you've determined that your drive is being seen by the system, as root - type "fdisk /dev/<SCSI device entry>" >From there, you will need to read on how to use fdisk to create partitions. I believe a secondary method would be to use GNU Parted (if it shipped with RHL 7.1). I have not done so personally, but I have heard it is nice once you've figured out how to use it. -- Michael Lee Yohe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brockwell Technologies, Inc.
